A very good introduction to both Bankruptcy as well as general creditor/debtor law and remedies. The book is divided into two general themes - about a third is on general creditor law, including state court remedies and receiverships. The second two-thirds is on bankruptcy, and Professor Epstein does a great job covering both consumer and business bankruptcy, focusing on Chapters 7, 11 and 13. He is consistent in referencing code sections and providing concrete examples of application. The nutshell is light on case references, but long on practical insight.
Law Student's Opinion

I used this Nutshell to help create my outline and fill in holes towards the end of the semester. I thought the book was well-organized and appreciated its explanation of confusing code sections. I wish I had purchased this book earlier in the semester since using it thoughout the class would have been beneficial. Summary: Much like other Nutshells - very helpful!

This was a great supplement to my bankruptcy class in law school. Prof. Epstein has put together an easy-to-understand summary of bankruptcy rules.
